Fauci says he's been intentionally moving goal posts on herd immunity estimates

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, admitted in a new interview that he’s been intentionally moving the goal posts on his recommendations regarding herd immunity based on what he thinks the American people are ready to hear.

Herd immunity, or the percentage of a population that acquires resistance to the coronavirus through infection or vaccination, has been widely estimated at roughly 60 to 70 percent for the coronavirus since the start of the pandemic.

why was he allowed to use taxpayer money to WEAPONIZE
the common cold and PROFIT from royalties as millions DIE??

because in the USA there is no downside to stealing,
corruption, murder, or weaponizing coronavirus and then
shipping it overseas to be ... released.

The truth is he has no clue, because he's a fraud.

I’ll bet that Fauci couldn’t get a passing grade on Statistics 101 for poets, let alone a real set of math capable of doing any realistic modelling of the progress of a virus. (Yup, he might have passed some math a couple of centuries ago, but sorry, he’s a loser now.)

As proof, note that NO ONE has had a good model for Wu Flu transmission/etc as of yet. Extant models are in the “climate change” class - meaning they are so far off that they appear to be written to solve an un-imagined problem.

Old school from my prof was this:

“Statistics NEVER gives you an answer, at best, it might give you another question.”

My how times have changed.

Science is always based on guesses of polling results.

As more people post flat Earth videos on Youtube, the Earth actually gets flatter.

Remember the parable about the frog, and the pot of boiling water?

THAT is why the goal posts have been moving. If he had told the truth from the beginning of his intentions, there would have been a rebellion, a complete rejection of his destructive policies.

That is why “two weeks to flatten the curve” became ‘two months to flatten the curve’, to ‘nine months to flatten the curve’, and soon will be ‘two years to flatten the curve’.

intentionally moving the goal posts - that means he has been constantly lying to the public. And who says this little man is capable of knowing what the public can handle. - talk about a superiority attitude.
